Constitutionalism can be traced back to the times of philosophers Plato and Aristotle around 400 B.C. But modern constitutionalism began in 1638, when four Connecticut river plantations created a constitution and a political state. The U.S. Constitution, written in 1787, was the first national constitution and to this day continues to be the most influential and the most long-lived of all.

For over two centuries, America’s system of representative government has been vested with the responsibility of protecting the rights of all citizens.
